. It's not my job to immediately anticipate what is confusing you about the subject — TonesInDeepFreeze
you wouldn't be too good at it — Olivier5
clue — Olivier5
by not subsuming LEM within an LEM/LNC combo, we can take out LNC to get paraconsistent logics — TonesInDeepFreeze
I suppose this is the main advantage of dissociating the two. — Olivier5
Also, to be able to get intuitionisitic logic. — TonesInDeepFreeze
take out LNC to get paraconsistent logics — TonesInDeepFreeze
What's intuitionistic about the 'inclusive or' in LEM? — Olivier5
One way of formulating the hard problem is to ask: if we had a complete, canonical, objective, physicalist account of the natural world, including all the physical facts of the brain and the organism, would it conceptually or logically entail the subjective facts of consciousness? If this account would not entail these facts, then consciousness must be an additional, non-natural property of the world. — Joshs
I believe math is, inter alia, a language. — TheMadFool
- the explosion or ex contradictione quodlibet by introducing a third truth value. A consequence of that is that (A & ~A) is allowed, but that it is not assigned either T or F, but N.A, ~A ⊢ B
Good, but not sure of the inter alia...
What else is it? — Banno
1/10+1/100+1/1000... become the very same as 1 — Banno
So folk become puzzled as to why it should turn out that 2 is so useful for Fijians as well as for Europeans. All languages use nouns, too, but this does not lead to puzzlement. Some ways of talking are better than others. — Banno
Adopting an argument from Davidson, what would a community look like in which 2+2=3? What utterances or behaviours of theirs would convince us that they thought this? How could they be seen to bring two groups of two together and get 3? How could they behave as if that were what happened? Perhaps they pretend that the fourth item has disappeared; but what would that look like to us - a ritual? — Banno
The inability to see that " 9/10+9/100+9/1000... " is another way of writing "1" is a measure of someone's lack of capacity to do maths.
So let's not go down that burrow. — Banno
Couldn't parse that to respond sensibly. — TheMadFool
A certain aspect of reality (quantity) is discovered all over the world — TheMadFool
Are you going to make a cogent argument as to how a series that is approaching one and could do so forever without actually reaching it is the "very same as I" — Janus
Get involved in philosophical discussions about knowledge, truth, language, consciousness, science, politics, religion, logic and mathematics, art, history, and lots more. No ads, no clutter, and very little agreement — just fascinating conversations.
